THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST!
The Bible DIRECTLY states that Jesus is God in a number of passages. Taken by themselves, these verses provide enough evidence for the church to BELIEVE in and TEACH the deity of Jesus Christ. But the INDIRECT evidence of Scripture is equally compelling.
John 1:1, 20:28; Rom 9:5; Phil. 2:6; Titus 2:13, Heb 1:8; 1 John 5:20.
Other passages include:
John 13:3, 17:5, Col 1:15–19, 1 Tim 3:16, and Heb 1:3
The NAMES of God are often APPLIED to Jesus. He is called "the MIGHTY GOD, the EVERLASTING FATHER" and "IMMANUEL" (meaning "God with us").
Isa 9:6; Isa 7:14 and Matt 1:22–23
Elsewhere Jesus is called "The LORD (Jehovah) our Righteousness," "God" and "Son of God."
Jer 23:6; Isaiah 40:3; Heb 1:8;
1 Tim 3:16; John 10:36
The Bible ascribes the characteristics of deity to Jesus Christ. He is described as Eternal, Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent and Immutable.
ETERNAL
( Isa 9:6; Micah 5:2; John 1:1–2; 8:58; 17:5; 24; Col 1:15, 17; 1 John 1:1; Rev 1:8);
OMNIPRESENT
( Matt 18:20; 28:20; John 3:13)
OMNISCIENT
( John 2:24, 25; 16:30; 21:17; Rev 2:23)
OMNIPOTENT
( Isa 9:6; Phili 3:21; Rev 1:8; cf.
John 5:17; Heb 1:3; Matt 28:18) and
IMMUTABLE
( Heb 1:10–12; 13:8)
Jesus Christ is EQUAL WITH God the Father. He is WORSHIPED AS God.
John 20:28; Acts 7:59; Heb 1:6; cf. Exo 34:14 and Matt 4:10
His NAME is assigned EQUAL STANDING with God the Father in the church's BAPTISMAL FORMULA and in the APOSTOLIC BENEDICTION.
Matt 28:19; cf. Acts 2:38; 2 Corinthians 13:14; cf. 1 Corinthians 1:3, Ephesians 1:2
Christ performed works which ONLY GOD can do. John 14:11
He is CREATOR.
John 1:3, 10; Colossians 1:16;
Hebrews 1:2,10
He is the UPHOLDER OF ALL THINGS.
Colossians 1:17; Hebrews 1:3; cf.
Luke 10:22; John 3:35; 17:2;
Ephesians 1:22
He Forgives SIN.
Matthew 9:2–7; cf. Mark 2:7; Luke 7:47, 48; Colossians 3:13
He will raise the dead and execute judgment.
John 11:25; cf. John 5:25, 28–29; 6:39, 40, 54; John 5:22
Jesus Christ Himself CLAIMED DEITY. He taught His disciples to PRAY IN HIS NAME.
John 16:23, 24
He claimed that He and the Father were ONE and that He was the Son of God.
John 10:30, 36; 14:9; 17:11
He claimed that to KNOW Him was to know God, to SEE Him was to see God, to RECEIVE Him was to receive God, to BELIEVE Him was to believe in God and to HONOR Him was to honor God, while to HATE Him was to hate God.
John 8:18; 14:7; John 12:45; 14:9;
Mark 9:37; John 12:44; 14:1;
John 5:23; John 15:23
